Experimental Switchings in Bistability Domains Induced by Resonant Perturbations

Abstract

We show that a combination of a resonant perturbation which induces bistability in the system with the targeting technique based on the action of a short-lived pulse perturbation makes the nonfeedback control of nonlinear systems (not only in a chaotic state) more flexible and even competitive with OGY's method in the sense of fast switching between controlled orbits belonging to coexisting attractors. For different initial states we present several experimental and numerical examples of such a type of control, which does not require feedback system.
